It's Monday morning and your alarm is going off — are you excited for the fresh start and the possibilities that the upcoming week holds for you?

Or do you want to rewind back to the weekend to enjoy a little more bit time off from your Monday through Friday reality?

If you struggle to conquer the Monday blues each week, and you aren't jumping energetically out of your bed to start your week, it’s time to make a change.

One way to overcome the blues is to have some inspiring quotes for Monday on hand that allow you to push your first workday of the week sluggishness aside.

There is a reason that most heart attacks occur on a Monday.

The truth is, the stress of returning to your normal routine or going back to work after the weekend with only the vision of the long week ahead of you actually poses a threat to your health.

Research has shown that deaths from heart attacks occur in a pattern during the week, with the rarest occurrences being on Saturdays and Sundays.

But on Mondays, adult men have heart attacks 20% more often than any other day of the week, and adult women have them 15% more often than other days.

Monday is a stressful day and oftentimes, we want to turn the other way and make a run for it.

However, with the right motivation, you can turn that attitude around and get excited for Monday to begin so you can feel a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment in your life.
